Chapter 1829

The two glanced at her in unison. “Who are you referring to as childish?”

The two actually became such a tacit duo all of a sudden at such a critical moment.

Daisie was rendered speechless.

On the other side of the region...

Freyja went downstairs to a nearby convenience store to buy a few beer cans and snacks. When she
went to the cashier to pay for the groceries, she heard someone making a call.

“Don‘t worry, the heir of the Knowles and the daughter of the Goldmanns are staying in the resort. I have
already found the hotel where they‘re staying.

“We plan to make a move on them in the next few days. We‘ll never let them leave the resort alive.”

Freyja froze in place and turned her head cautiously.

The man standing outside the convenience store on the phone was smoking a cigarette, and two other
men were standing right next to him, one of whom had a tattooed arm. All of them seemed to be bad
news.

‘Their targets are Daisie and Nollace?

Just when she was a little distracted, the cashier suddenly asked her, “Miss, do you need anything
else?”

The cashier‘s question instantly attracted the attention of the three men outside the door.

When they were about to turn their heads and look into the store, Freyja quickly avoided their gazes.



In order not to be noticed, she did not even take a look at the shelf and took a box off it immediately. “I‘ll
take this too. How much is it?”

Her focus was not on the box at all but on keeping herself as calm as possible.

The clerk thought she hesitated for so long because she was embarrassed to make the purchase. Thus,
when checking her out, she chuckled and teased her, “I guess your boyfriend must be a very young
man.”

Freyja did not know why she would say that to her. “What are you talking about?”

She was bewildered by the cashier until her gaze landed on the box.

Freyja’s cheeks flushed instantly, but the cashier had already placed the box into the bag and handed it
to her. “Please come again if you have other needs.”

When she turned around and was about to leave, the three men standing outside the door were no
longer looking at her.

She relaxed a little but did not dare to let her guard down completely, so she could only bite the bullet,
pull the door, and leave the store.

However, after taking a few steps forward, a person stopped her from behind. “Wait a minute.”

A chill shot up Freyja’s spine, her back stiffened, and she did not dare to look back.

The man approached her, stretched out his hand, and turned her face. “Tsk, you look familiar to me.”

Her palms were covered in a cold sweat.

I mustn‘t be found here.



‘There are people on the street, and they won‘t dare to act so rashly.‘

Thinking of this, she came up with a plan to stabilize the situation first.

She grabbed his hand, flung it away, and smirked. “The way you flirt with a lady is too old–fashioned .
You won‘t be able to get yourself a lady with that opening.”

The man took a closer look at her. He had never seen Freyja, but he was worried she was related to their
targets because of her facial features.

But seeing that she was purchasing a box of condoms just now, he thought she was just another
promiscuous woman. Thus, she should have nothing to do with the daughter of the Goldmanns and the
heir of the Knowles.

He grinned, and his gaze turned malicious. “Would you like to try another man out? I think your boyfriend
isn‘t competent enough to satisfy you.”

Freyja held back her disgust and smiled. “Are you as good in bed as my man?”

The man wrapped his arms around her waist. “How would you know if you don‘t try me out first?”

Freyja was about to coax him into the room to wait for her and take the opportunity to call Nollace and
the others when a voice came.

“Freyja Pruitt!”

Freyja was astonished. She turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.

Colton was standing not far away from her with the packet of food in his hand, and he had seen
everything that had just taken place between her and the man.



His gaze looked stern and cold, and his attitude was different from the usual this time around as it was
filled with disgust.

“I‘m not–” She wanted to explain subconsciously, and she did not even know why she would want to do
so. It was as if she did not want to be misunderstood.

Colton dropped the packed food directly at her feet. “I think you don‘t need anything else to eat now, do
you?”

He turned around and was about to leave when Freyja realized that something was wrong. She had to
get herself out of this mess first. “Wait–”
